Fireworks Paint the Skies At Larchmont Manor Park

Music by the Dixie Dandies and fireworks courtesy of the various clubs and communities that line the Sound Shore were among the treats in store for the scores of residents that flocked to Larchmont Manor Park on July 4.

Larchmont resident Keith Lew was there with this camera to chronicle the sights.

Well that explains it. I couldn’t understand how or why the LYC would do such a thing during this economic Recession. Most towns and cities in the surrounding area are cutting back or even cancelling fireworks – so I didn’t think that LYC would add this type of unnecessary extravagance to their Club members expense account.

The fireworks over Larchmont Harbor were MOSTLY funded by the Larchmont Yacht Club. A Portion of the display was donated by an individual member of the club. With a record breaking turn-out this year, we can all hopefully expect this to be an annual tradition, as it once was and should be!

Joe Attendee, you are incorrect, the fireworks were paid for by the Larchmont Yacht Club. The first year, the fireworks were underwritten by several members of the Club and it was such a success, the club decided to continue to provide fireworks, despite the expense.
